Staff Only

Secretary of Labor Raymond J. Donovan announced a major reduction in paperwork for nearly half a million employers, exempting them from maintaining on-the-job injury and illness forms required by OSHA. Industries shown to be least hazardous will be exempt, including retail trades, finance, insurance, real estate, and service industries. The exemption is based on establishments falling within certain criteria and not being targeted for general schedule inspections. The aim is to reduce unnecessary forms and alleviate federal burdens on employers.
